Evans Brewing Company Expands Distribution to Colorado

The Centennial State Joins California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico Where the Company's Beers Are Distributed

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 27, 2016) - Evans Brewing Company (OTC PINK: ALES), a producer of award-winning premium craft beers, today announced an agreement with New Age Beverage, LLC for distribution of its core year-round packaged beers to retailers in Colorado.

"Colorado is home to one of the best craft beer markets in the country," stated Hans Schmidt, Beer Manager of New Age Beverage. "We are excited to add the award-winning Evans Brewing Company products to our portfolio and offer these unique beers to the sophisticated consumers of Colorado."

Distribution to Colorado, a traditional craft beer mecca and host to the Great America Beer Festival, brings the number of states where the company's ales and lagers are available to seven, joining California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Expanded product distribution is one element of Evans Brewing Company's ongoing growth strategy. The company launched a comprehensive beer rebranding initiative in mid-2015, including new bottle labels that feature vivid designed, hand drawn artwork and custom die cut labels highlighting the outline shape of California where the beers are produced in Orange County's oldest brewery. Distribution agreements for Evans Brewing's packaged core year-round products covering additional states and regions are expected to be finalized in the near term.

"There has been so much excitement and positive feedback surrounding the launch of our new branding, and we are thrilled to introduce our branded packaged products to the Colorado market," said Jeromy Roush, Vice President of Sales for Evans Brewing Company. "Colorado is a very craft-centric region, and we feel our beers will give Colorado's craft enthusiasts a taste of a unique and historical Southern California brewery."

Evans Brewing Company (www.evansbrewco.com) develops and distributes premium craft brands including a superior line of lagers and ales that have been honored with over 20 international awards. Operating the oldest brewery in Orange County, California, Evans Brewing supplies restaurants, retailers and beer drinkers across several states. Future plans for the company include a branded restaurant/taproom -- anticipated to open in the second quarter of 2016, broader product distribution, and potentially an expansion of the beer brands currently under management.
